English

Etymology

From appendix + -less.

Adjective

appendixless (not comparable)

  1. Without an appendix (bodily organ).
    • 2013 January 7, Sarah Kliff, “‘It’s tough to get cervical cancer without a cervix.’”, in The Washington Post:
      Screening women for prostate cancer, for example, would not make sense. Nor would an appendicitis screening for someone who has already had their appendix removed. There's exactly a zero percent chance than an appendix-less individual could develop an appendix-specific disease.
